HIV TESTS

I'd like to ask is there anyone who knows what kind of ELISA test is used in Sexual Health Clinics in Ontario?
Is it 3rd or 4th generation. When I called there (You may believe or not) nurse had no any idea... She said it's just a blood test:-).
Oh God I have no any idea who train them and pay salary...
If Elisa test is 3rd generation how acurate is the result after 7 weeks from expousure date?
Thx a lot for any info.
